Problems solved by technology

Cartilage injury and minimal regeneration often lead to osteoarthritis, characterized by degradation of joints, including both articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
Although cartilage regeneration in humans is limited, recent clinical reports about cartilage healing in long term immobilized OA joints suggest that the regenerative potential of articular cartilage may be underestimated.
A variety of options exist for the treatment of cartilage lesions, most with limited results.
This technique, only performed for smaller lesions, results in the formation of fibrocartilage that has inferior mechanical properties as compared to hyaline cartilage.
Clear limitations exist for these procedures, including limited supply of donor cartilage, as well as significant donor site morbidity.
None of the current mesenchymal cell-based repair strategies including in vitro expanded adult mesenchymal stromal cells from bone marrow, adipose tissue, synovium or amniotic fluid have generated long-lasting hyaline articular cartilage.
